It depresses me to no end that you had a mediocre Haichi's experience. When we went it was out of this world - the sushi was excellent, the tempura was amazing and the green tea creme brulee was out of this world.
All that being said, my favorite neighborhood joint remains Haichi's neighbor, Buona Terra. We moved here from New York five years ago and their cuisine rivals what you find in the best restaurants on the east coast. The husband likes the Rigatoni Buona Terra (sundried tomatoes and goat cheese); the Pollo Affumicatto (three words: tomato bacon sauce) is also out of this world. Again, as a desert enthusiast, I have to recommend the cannoli which are hand filled to order.
No lie, I've put on 10 lbs. since we moved to the neighborhood two years ago.
